Pretty nice little trail system. If it is wet out some of the trails will be flooded over. The outer loop trail is roughly 2 miles, we added the inner loop on to get it just over 3 miles for a nice little trail run. Pretty descent elevation changes to.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover the trails to be well marked and maintained. I know this place has Hunting Area in its name but what I found was a beautiful easy trail area with benches over looking the pond and a small picnic area with a table surrounded by amazing wildflowers. I would highly recommend this for people looking to get out into nature close to home.
Beautiful park, so much to see. Fall colors especially nice this year!
Nice trail close to home! Clearly marked and nice views. Just under 2 miles for the outer loop.
Black Fork Bottoms is a shared use area, so it's important to pay attention to when it's open for hunting only. A great place to walk the dog. Mowed paths, a big swamp and an overlook of the entire area. A real hidden gem right off US 42
Great peaceful place to relax!
Nice trails to walk. But the bus are out in force. Remember this is a swamp bug type area.
Easy trail to hike. Some paths are not as clear as others to navigate.
